anyhow, who can translate that into an approx.. quarter mile time? Any 8th mile quarter mile time converters?


I dont trust those time converter tables, because our cars pull much harder up top than a live axle NA...

BTW: great times... Especially for street tires, that track must be really sticky! What kind of tires were you using to pull 60 footers like that?

I don't trust those tables either. I pulled some old slips out. I was running 9.5 in the eighth while pulling a 13.7 in the quarter three months ago. That puts me about .9 seconds faster in the eighth, which should put me about a full sec faster in the quarter.

12.7's anyone?

To pull those 60 ft times, I was using my super cheap pos specialty tires. Kumho Escta Supra 712's in a 235 45 R 17. That was my car in the vids burning second gear down every time. The track really wasn't that sticky, as everyone was bitching about it. I just worked the hell out of the clutch and launched at about 3800-4000 rpm every time.
